PSA Love Blog Hop going on right here...

Welcome to the PSA Love Blog Hop!! I'm thrilled to be apart of this fun blog hop... and who doesn't LOVE a good blog hop!! Since you have a lot of blogs to get through lets get this hop going!

This hop is suppose to be all about love and if you know me at all, you know I love dogs!! A lot!! I have 4, Bella, Savannah, Alfred and Nico.

Here is Bella (Yorkie) and Nico in my craft studio...

(these two are the trouble makers)

our sweet Savannah, who is the most perfect clam dog there is...

and Alfred. (He's our special needs dog and VERY hard to get a picture of.)

These are my fur-babies. You could say my business is kinda "dog" friendly. We have our dogs at work with us, even Lanie who works for us brings her pup and my logo for the company is of a real dog, Willie-B.

Here is Willie-B:

He was my first love (had him before I married Dan) then a few years after I married Dan he died of a heart condition. I wanted to keep his little memory alive so I made him the face of Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker! Love and miss him so much.

For my first "love" project I'm using my newest paper line We Are Family. With each of my new releases (every 6 months) I create a layout using the same picture of my Willie-B.

My next "love" project is a frame I altered for Valentine's Day, using my Sugar Cookie paper line. I think I'll give it to my hubby for the big "LOVE" day!

I hope you've enjoyed seeing hearing about my Loves!! Be sure and leave me a comment here and don't forget to become a follower of PSA Essentials and also follow my blog to win the grand prize. (I have 4 of my design team girls that blog monthly here too, you'll love all the eye candy they show!)

AWWWW... Love your dogs. My mom and dad has a gordon setter (not sure if its the same in english) He is the same age as my son, 9 years old. But unfotunatly we do not know for how much longer he will be here. He is really sick with what looks like a tumor on his brain. So i am taking pictures all the time to keep him in memory when he is gone =)I am now one of your newest followers =)

Great tribute!Your layout is super sweet.I would soooo love to win your awesome prize!I am now a follower!Hope you will drop by MY BLOG, take a peek around, check out my fur babies, and maybe even follow me too! ;)Hugs,True :D

I am a HUGE animal lover as well. We have THREE calico cats that like to think of us as their favorite human servants. I am already a HUGE fan of your blog and have been a follower for quite some time. Fabulous fun and inspiration!

Hi Nikki, love your doggies, you know I have the two Cavalier King Cahrles myself, couldn't do without them! Your projects are great!! Love them all! I don't know what went wrong but for some reason blogger has kicked me out as your follower, so I will rejoin! Hope I can stay this time LOL! Hugs, Frea

So fun to see your fur babies! Little Willie B is so sweet - I am glad you keep his memory alive, what a sweet way to do it with your layouts! Love that frame! I have been a FB fan of yours for a long time, did not realize I was not a follower of your blog, but I am now :)

Oh my gosh I just love your blog.. I hope Nico (not sure if I spelled his name right is doing fine and he got the help he needed when you took him to the vet. Your dogs are just to cute!!! I love your work. You really do inspire me and your paper ROCKS! I'm already a follower on your blog. Have a super weekend!hugs,jenjennyscards.blogspot.com

Nikki, I am new to your site, and glad I hopped to it!! I too have my own fur-babies, and they are everything to me! I took a look around and I really like your paper line!! Love your layout and thanks for the hop!!

Tina MLOL, I love your layouts, I have a "fur baby" named Suki, a Yorkie that looks just like yours. Thanks for sharing! Would love to win this giveaway, a great pick me up while i recover from surgery! Thanks for the chances!!st_mccall@yahoo.com

Fabulously sweet lo! What a wonderful tribute. Thanks for the inspiration! I've only recently fallen in love w/your papers. I joined an online site (ning) and so many of the crafters were showcasing your Sugar Cookie collection. Everything they created made me want your papers more and more! :-D TFS your lovely lo and fab artistry!

Your dogs are quite the crew. I too am a dog lover, but I guess only half as much as you because I only have two! My furbabes are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that are 8 months old. Love your layout and the idea that you keep Willie B's memory alive. My past girls hold a huge place in my heart.

Too, too adorable! I have a yorkie/shih tzu mix who is my best friend and confidant! I have always, over the years, had a little buddy. They are as dear to me as my children. Wonderful layout. You captured the emotion beautifully.

Aww! Willie B was such an adorable little guy. It's so heart crushing when they pass on, but I don't know what I'd do without having them in my life, so I keep on adopting. Dog-friendly companies are the *greatest*! My favorites are your lines that let a little canine show through!

Beautiful memorial to a very loved pet. Your babies are beautiful, I have a dorkie (have dacshound and half yorkie) and he looks alot like your special needs dog. Very cute!I have become afollowermary3mom at yahoo dot com

What an honor it is to have you share about your fur-babies during this hop. I love your journaling on the layout! It brought a tear to my eye thinking about the fur-babies of ours that are no longer with us. May the memories of your first love continue to live on for many, many years. Thank you for sharing.

Nikki just love your post I too am a dog lover as my 2 yorkies Penelope and Ringo run around my legs.. Love your layouts and the fact that it is an awesome way of keeping our fur-babies memories alive TFS {heart You}The Scrapbooking Queenwww.thescrapbookingqueen.ocmthescrapbookingqueen1@gmail.com

Thanks for sharing pictures of your lovies. They are all so cute. I only have one dog. Her nickname is Poopie because when she was a baby she will always poopie on my carpet...LOL. Her name is Trinity Rose. Just like a parent, I only whip out the middle name when she is in trouble. :)
